T-Shirt Of The Week #004: SPACE BASTARD

Published November 16, 2009 by Warren Ellis

TOTW is basically a joke that Ariana and I pull each week in our joint guise as the International Electrophonic Unit. Basically, we take some of the stupider things I’ve said on Twitter and elsewhere, often in a state of extreme alcoholic refreshment or severe sleep deprivation, and put them on a t-shirt. Ariana set up a Cafe Press store (because this is a joke and engaging with a serious maker of t-shirts would be less funny to us), and… well, once a week, here we are.

Through this website and this Cafe Press store, we’re going to release one t-shirt a week. It’ll go live on Monday… and it’ll die Sunday night — midnight UK time, more often than not. Each one lives for a week, and then it’s replaced by the next week’s shirt. Until I either run out of dumb ideas or Ariana’s brain explodes.

Is there any chance of having these shirts done in a regular raglan tee? I see raglan tee in a babydoll cut (or in cafepress parlance, “women’s cap sleeve”), but that looks less than attractive on the male side of the population.

You have ruined the word “space” for me. I will never be able to hear that word again without a Pavlovian “bastard” escaping from my lips. How am I supposed to watch the start of any Star Trek programme/film/merchandising tie-in with a straight face?
